New services from Turkish Airlines in accordance with its guidelines for safe travel: Hygiene Expert and Hygiene Kit

SStarting its local flights after a two-month hiatus and just days away from resuming international flights, Turkish Airlines implements two new inflight service changes to protect the health of its guests. Prepared with scientific data in mind, the flag carrier is distributing “Hygiene Kits” containing a mask, disinfectant and antiseptic tissue to its guests in accordance with its ‘guidelines for safe travel.’ In addition, “Hygiene Expert” cabin crews will be appointed to flights to be responsible for the distribution of Hygiene Kits and provide oversight to make sure all necessary precautions are implemented correctly.

All precautions under the control of Hygiene Expert

In the new era, precautions in the sky will be under the purview of Hygiene Expert cabin crews. Working as a health inspector, Hygiene Experts will solely focus on the enforcement of all on-board hygiene and social distancing measures for the healthy travel of passengers.

Responsible for lessening the on-board circulation of individuals and making sure cabin crew and passengers adhere to the social distancing rules, Hygiene Experts will monitor the mask usage of passengers, while making sure that passengers do not remove their masks all at once during the service of food and beverages. Instructing passengers to prevent lines forming during lavatory usage, Hygiene Experts will also disinfect the lavatories. Hygiene and safety checks of the lavatories will also continue to be performed by all cabin crew as well.

Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee, M. Ilker Ayci stated, “We are working hard on all contact points to ensure a healthy and safe travel experience for our passengers. At Turkish Airlines, we are providing significant services to our passengers with our enhanced guidelines for safe travel that are prepared in accordance with instructions of scientists. Some of the significant new implementations in accordance with these guidelines are our Hygiene Expert cabin crews and Hygiene Kits distributed by them. Responsible solely for all on-board hygiene and enforcement of social distancing measures between our passengers, we believe that our Hygiene Experts will help our passengers to feel more comfortable and relaxed about their travels.”

Ultra-hygiene for aircrafts before every flight

Turkish Airlines aircrafts are disinfected prior to every flight via thorough cleaning methods. Hygiene in the cabin is ensured as all contact points in our aircraft are thoroughly cleaned using chemicals safe for human health, and with methods that are proven scientifically to be effective. Special equipment and chemicals are used for different surfaces such as seats, windows, screens and lavatories.
